FX1 and Mic Line In
 
I recently purchased my first shotgun mic for my FX1, a Rode Videomic.
Unfortunately there appears to be an issue with the audio coming in through the mic/line in plug. For some reason there is barely any audio coming into the camera. When I have the audio levels set to auto, it is as if the mic is not pickup up any noise. If I set the audio levels on the camera to manual and increase it to 10 (the max), then I begin to hear things if I speak very loudly. This seemed really odd for a mic that most people refer to being very sesitive.
I decided to check to make sure the mic was working by attatching it to my old TRV900. The video mic worked and sounded amazing on that camera.

Therefore, I believe that something is wrong with my FX1. Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be? Or better...how I might be able to fix it?
Thanks so much!

On pp 56-57 of the US manual it talks about how to select MIC or LINE for the input.

Apologies if you've done this already...

Yes. Make sure mic in is selected in the Audio set menu.

Also make sure you are pluged into mic/linein, not audio/video plug...
